Remember the saying, “Got any rivers you think are uncrossable? Got any mountains you cannot tunnel through?” God specializes in things thought impossible, and he can do what no other power can do. These are certainly encouraging words. Maybe right now you are facing impossible circumstances in your own life. Possibly with health problems, business or financial problems, family problems, or a number of others. Right now, you are uncertain on what to do, how to move forward.

I have a good friend that wanted to run a marathon. He began running and training each day. He joined a running group to learn more and to be encouraged. He told me, “There are times I do not feel like running, but I have made a commitment.” He did run the marathon. He did not win, but he finished the race.

Hebrews 11:23-29 speaks of the faith of Moses. I was thinking of his trip through the desert wilderness with about three million people and what faith it took.

The Bible gives us a wonderful verse on the Lord’s care for us as His children. Philippians 4:19 says, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” God is our all-powerful, all-compassionate, all-wise and all-loving heavenly Father. He loves us so much that He sacrificed His son Jesus Christ for our salvation. We can certainly trust Him to provide our needs to live day by day, after His giving so much to save our souls.

We are told in Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” How does God want you to live with Him and in relationships others? Once you become a Christian, what does God require of you?

As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are not guaranteed a life without problems, an easy life. We will face mountains at times, hardships, health problems, difficulties and trials throughout our lives. What do we do when dealing with what appears to be an impossible problem or obstacle. Do we quit? Do we give up? Do we panic? The Lord tells us, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you,” (Matthew 17:20).

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is 1 Samuel 30:6, “But David encouraged himself in the Lord.” In his moment of discouragement, in his moment of distress, this young king turned to his God for encouragement.

We are told in 1 Peter 1:5, “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” Do you trust the Lord to be your safety and security? Do you keep your eyes on the increasing political turmoil, the country’s increasing debt, the spiritual decay among our people, or the constant danger in the world? God told us, “I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed” (Malachi 3:6).

Your thinking process shapes and controls your attitudes. Your attitudes are a composition of your total thoughts. 

Proverbs 23:79 says, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” 

Our attitudes lead to our actions, so we must monitor them closely.

The thought is the father of the deed. Before you act, the event must cross your mind. The achievements of your life are based upon the total of your thoughts.
